Train Rides
Dental Depot Train Park
Our Train Park at Dental Depot Yukon features the Dental Depot Express, a miniature train with five passenger cars that can hold up to 10 riders! The train is open Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon in the summer (weather permitting), and rides are free for the whole family. But, these fun rides would’t be possible without our four, fantastic conductors! Get to know them below and we look forward to seeing you at the Dental Depot Train Park!
Heather is a dental assistant here at Dental Depot Yukon and she works with Dr. Ty Mays. She’s been with us since 2014 and her favorite things in the world are her sons, her dogs and ice cream! Nothing makes Heather happier than the joy that children have when they see the trains in our offices for the first time. The only thing that’s better? The smiles on their faces when they actually get to ride the train! You’ll know it’s Heather coming around the tracks because she loves to sound the whistle.
Whitney is a patient care coordinator (PCC) for our hygiene team at Dental Depot Yukon. Whitney has been a staple at the Yukon office since 2014. She loves spending time with her son and her Great Danes. She also enjoys decorating the office for different holidays and seasons. Whitney can make anyone laugh and her positivity spreads around the office. Her favorite part of the train is that both kids and their parents can ride together. Whitney’s favorite train sound is the bell as she pulls into the station.
Lorna is a patient accounts service representative (PASR) at Dental Depot Yukon and has been with us since 2016. She handles billing questions and works with insurance companies to make sure our patients receive the benefits they are entitled to. Her favorite part of being a Dental Depot Express conductor is seeing how excited the riders are to go around the tracks. You know Lorna is having a great time when she sounds the horn as the train leaves the station. The best things in life for Lorna are her three cats, her boyfriend and her mom.
Janis is the assistant manager at Dental Depot Yukon and she’s been with Dental Depot since 2015. Her favorite things in the whole wide world are reading, spending time with her family and traveling. The motto at our Yukon office must be, “work hard, play hard.” Because for Janice, the best part of working at Dental Depot is that she can always count on her team members to lend a helping hand and to have fun while doing it. Her favorite part about driving the Dental Depot Express is seeing all of the smiles and her favorite sound is the whistle! There are too many types of trains to pick a favorite, so Janis likes them all!
That’s all folks! Stay connected with us on Facebook to keep up with any changes to the Dental Depot Express schedule for the upcoming weekend. And we encourage you to take pictures of your time at the train park and tag us in them when you post on your favorite social media network. We’ll see you soon!

Robin my hygienist was great, she kept me informed while working with my teeth. She also was soft on my gums and made sure it was a great experience. Dr. Patel explained in detail what was needed and what was not. He was very professional and told me the risks of a tooth that I know needs a crown. Other fillings he stated looked fine and pointed it out with actual photos that were in color and blown up for me to easily see.
I truly thought this experience was a five star rating! Thank you for everything. In and out in hour and 5 min and that’s because I was engaged and talking to. If I would have talked less it could of have been done in about 45 min.
I’m a talker.

Nice about working us in for a toothache. Reasonable but safety precautions in place. Professional but kindness shown for our unique situation. Addition: My son had 4 fillings. It was a good experience for him. The estimate of cost was accurate. Also, the doctor worked quickly which is favorable for less jaw pain. I highly recommend Dental Depot, Dr. Patel!

When walking in there are strict guidelines due to Covid. You will be greeted at the front door, your temperature will be checked, and seated 6 feet apart. When taken to your room, you are required to use mouthwash and wash hands. After you are settled in your chair you can remove mask. Dr Talbot and Alexa work very hard in trying to provide top notch service. I barely feel the numbing needles. The procedure went great. Would trust them with my kids.

Elizabeth is the best hygienist. Not only does she do a great job, I look forward to seeing her because she is fun. Thank you!

This was my first time at the Dental Depot. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by friendly staff. My hygienist, Nicole, put me at ease from the moment I arrived and explained the process as she went along. She is wonderful!
I was then greeted by Dr. Patel. He was very courteous and also made me feel at ease. He took the time to answer all of my questions.
I highly recommend anyone coming here. If you have anxiety when you go to the dentist, like I do, it will disappear once you are going through the process. Lamar J.6/15/2020
